Excerpt from Coal and Its Scientific Uses

I have endeavoured in this monograph to give in essential outline an account of the present state of science and practice in relation to Coal and its various Uses.

In consenting to undertake the task I was conscious, on the one hand, that so wide and important a subject could hardly be treated adequately by any one writer in a volume of such moderate dimensions as this present. On the other hand, I felt that, in the national interest, there was great need for some responsible scientific worker in Fuel Technology to review the various aspects of the Coal Question as it stands to-day. And as much new information had come to my knowledge as Chairman of the British Association Fuel Economy Committee in 1915-17, it was hardly possible for me not to accede to the Editor's request.

In drawing up the scheme for the book, I made it my chief objective to give the scientific public, and especially the chemical section of it, as clear and succinct an account as I could of the statistical, chemical, and technical aspects of the subject as a whole, without unnecessary detail or too much mechanical illustration. And whilst I have made no attempt to write what would be called a scientific treatise, I have consistently endeavoured throughout to give due prominence to the underlying scientific principles.

The scheme of the book has been so arranged that, beginning with a chapter on the general and statistical aspects of the Coal Question from a national standpoint, there follows a review of the present state of science regarding the origin and chemistry of coal, including its distillation, oxidation, and combustion. The latter part of the book is devoted to a consideration of the principal economic and industrial uses of coal as a fuel, to each of which one or more chapters have been assigned.
